Instructions

In a large plastic resealable bag, combine beef, lime juice, salt and pepper. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer to marinade.
Preheat grill on High (or turn on broiler if cooking indoors.) Make salad dressing by combining soy sauce through brown sugar in a small glass bowl. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine greens, carrots, onion, cucumber, tomato and fresh herbs.
Cook beef on hot grill about 6 minutes per side for medium rare (longer if you prefer.) When beef is done cooking, take off the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
Do not slice, poke or cut the beef until it has rested for 10 minutes.
After meat has rested, thinly slice against the grain. Gently pour salad dressing around the edge of the salad bowl and toss together gently with tongs or your hands.
Serve with sliced beef on top.
